I have little hope that the media will actually jump on this, but I hope Charles Djou takes him up on his demand and then turns and asks that President Obama does the same:
Tongue firmly in cheek, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Tuesday afternoon called on reporters to demand to see the birth certificate of new Rep. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii).
As Djou (pictured here) was being sworn into office, Frank walked the hallway of the Speaker's Lobby off the House floor calling on the media to "do your job" and review Djou's papers.
The whole "birther" thing is alternately annoying and amusing to me. Amusing in the sense that the State of Hawaii has provided all of the evidence, in the form of a summary certificate, that is required to prove Obama's eligibility to be president. Anyone who thinks otherwise is living a fantasy that will never come to pass. That said, Barack Obama has never released his original and full birth certificate and it is annoying to see media dolts like Chris Mathews obfuscate and provide cover for Obama by claiming that he has. I don't believe for a minute that anything would or even should change at this point, but I would like to know what the man we elected to the most powerful office in the world is hiding.
According to this website, Djou was born in Hawaii. If that's the case, Djou should release his original birth certificate and then demand that Obama do the same. I'd love to see Barney Frank respond to that just for the comical splutter value. Not going to happen, I know, but it's humorous to think about.
